I know it is difficult
but it is possible to thrive amidst single mom issues. How can you make it possible to have a sane
day, everyday? Physically taking care of
the kids, providing their material needs, responding to their emotional needs
and guiding them in their social activities are tasks that a single mom needs
to lump in her 24 hour day. The pressure
of time and physical exhaustion are enough to cause emotional problems to a
single mom. These are more than enough
to drive a single mom crazy.
Would you choose this insane
way or would you like to know the path to thriving amidst single mom issues?
You may not believe it
but there is one single and simple answer to thriving amidst single mom issues. The answer and the secret of most single moms
is being right with God. We can live an
abundant life and practically go through the storms of life if we have an
abundant life in Jesus Christ. An
abundant life in Jesus Christ is seeing beyond the problems of life and seeking
the greater purpose in the issues that we encounter.
A single mom’s life is
very emotional. It is full of
disappointments. In times like these our
emotions take control over us and in most cases lead us to an even serious
problem – our health. The best way to
free us from disappointments is to lean on the power and goodness of Jesus
Christ. Life on earth has a greater
purpose, bigger than all issues that we daily encounter. Life on earth is only
temporary, look forward to the blessings beyond this life. Look to the power of God to help you overcome
your troubles.
You will only be able
to use God’s power to overcome life’s issues if you know who your God is. If your God is big, your problems become
small. Read your Bible daily to see and
discover how big our God is. As you do
your daily reading of the Bible, you will discover that the scriptures are not
merely words but are medicines for your soul and spirit. The truth in the Bible will encourage you and
lift you up as the daily struggles of being a single mom surround you.
Our world is ruled by
Satan. He seeks only to steal to kill
and to destroy. Thus, we experience
issues in life such as ending up being a single mom when in fact our dream, our
goal was to have a happy family.
Nevertheless, we should not let Satan triumph because our Lord Jesus
Christ has won the battle for us. If we
only use Jesus’ power, we can overcome all the issues that we are now
experiencing. Whenever you feel
powerless, call on the name of Jesus and rest in His care.
Prayer or simply
talking to Jesus will also help you thrive amidst the issues of being a
single mom. Simply talk to Him, telling Him of all your issues and problems and
asking Him to help you and guide you, that you may see the greater purpose in
the issues at hand. Do not be weary, instead practice Philippians 4:6 “Do not be
anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Keep moving and thrive because your kids need you and God will help
you. Just ask Him to help you and put
your trust in Him.
